Dog Lost For Four Years Shows Up On Owner’s Doorstep

Four years ago, one North Carolina couple looked tirelessly for their beloved dog Molly after she disappeared from their home one day.

As months passed by with no trace of her, Joel McDonald and his wife Carolyn were forced to accept that Molly was gone. However, four years after going missing, Molly suddenly showed up at their doorstep. “I didn’t know for sure but I thought it. And she just came and put her head in my lap and said ‘oh my,’” said McDonald, who couldn’t believe Molly had really returned.

“I wasn’t expecting that. I’d already said she was gone,” McDonald said. As much as they wanted to believe the dog was their Molly, they had to be sure so they immediately brought her to the vet to see if she had a microchip that would confirm if Molly had really come back.

“We didn’t ask him his name or anything I looked down and I said ‘We got a number!’ I looked it up in the computer and I said what’s your name? And I said that’s your Molly,” said Terry, a staff member of the animal hospital. “She’s back now!” Carolyn said after hearing the good news.
